Best place to sell roots and Herbs?

1

I haven’t dug or sold any kind of roots in years now, as work has kept me too busy, and age has got me too tired ! But I’m thinking about starting back this summer/Fall; so who here still digs, and who do you prefer to sell to? I’m thinking, Black Cohosh, Golden Seal, and maybe a couple of other types like Solomons seal , and of course Ginseng . I don’t have a clue what any of it goes for these days, so any advice is appreciated!

I dug eight pounds of yellow root a couple years ago and sold to a man in Knox County.

I got a list of root buyers from the cooperative extension office the last time I sold any and that has been awhile ago

Okay, I hadn’t thought of anything like that. I will check here local, and see if anyone is buying. Thanks!

Stacey got a book the other day about medicinal herbs and plants. It’s very good. It also tells how to tincture stuff which is useful to trappers. She’s asked me if I ever heard of this and that and I’ll say yes, it grows everywhere. I’m going to help her find some stuff to play with.

You can contact the Ky. Dept. of Ag. for a list of licensed buyers.
